Philip Shaibu, the reinstated deputy governor of Edo State, has officially parted ways with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Shaibu announced his decision on Saturday in Benin City, the state capital.
He rejoined the APC alongside prominent members of the Dan Orbih-led Legacy Group of the PDP.
“On behalf of the Legacy Group, I announce our movement to the APC. We have come to add value to the party,” Shaibu said.
“It is time to take back our state. We will not talk too much because action will speak for us. We are not afraid. We are ready to move forward.
“We, the homeboys, are ready to take our state back through the APC governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa.
“We are not troublemakers, but if it comes, we will use it to rub our body, and we move on.”
